Quote-ables

Using quotes from experts, authors or famous people is a great technique for adding interest and credibility to what you write, say or present. Just be sure to indicate who the author is when not a commonly recognized person.

Here are three you might like:

  • “Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
  • “Too many slides make an audience sleepy.” – Richard Nixon
  • “Speak plain and to the purpose.” – William Shakespeare

(Yes … I assumed you recognized those authors.)

If you have some favorite communication, business or management quotes, send them in.  I’ll be happy to share them with everyone in future posts.

    Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
